My Father, Samuel Gray Hanna, was born April 14, 1890  in Rincon, New Mexico.


WHEN HE REACHED THE AGE OF NINETY IN A NURSING HOME IN ALBUQUERQUE he started telling people he was one hundred years old. . . 

Soul Mates

I recently met a college student of Ethiopian descent.  She attends a Catholic college in Honolulu.  I think we may be soul mates. I will let you know.

Robert REASONING

Robert’s Reasoning on the recent news about Bill Cosby

Perhaps the most profound statement in my lifetime was Buckminster Fuller’s observation that “We know less than one tenth of one per cent about anything.”

Bill Cosby was/is an immensely popular entertainer and comedian.  It has been publicized in the news media this November that there is a history of accusations against him by women claiming sexual abuse going back some thirty or forty years.

According to the news reports the nature of the abuse was that Cosby drugged women and then when they were unconscious he put his penis inside their vaginal opening. 

   

Clearly that is a violation of the victim and of the law.  The damage suffered by the victims (perhaps as many as thirty so far) is primarily mental /psychological.

Cosby is now trying damage control regarding his valuable public image. 

To put this into perspective is an individual matter for each person who considers it.

Relevant factors include:

1.       The clearly selfish motivation.

2.       The feminine mystique and heterosexual DNA each different for each person.

3.       Our moral constructs also different for each person.

This offers a masterful construct for intelligent analysis.

GOOD PEOPLE

Do not judge others.

Meditation

I was sitting on a bar stool in a bar on the Sunset Strip in L A when Robin Williams walked in with his body guards.  He sat one vacant stool away.  We talked and I said something about meditation.  He replied, “I studied that once, but I quit when I became fearful that I was getting terminally mellow.”

Alzheimer’s disease Diary October 7, 2013

In 2006 (more or less) the condition was diagnosed at Tripler Army Hospital here in Honolulu.  The IQ test that was part of the diagnostic procedure placed me in the top percentile of people my age.

My Doctor said that meant that I should be dead before I needed help with my check book.

Now I am seventy six and confused – unless I slow (everything) to a very slow snail’s pace and stay cool.

Shortly after the diagnosis and implementation of the medication (which I liken in my mind to LSD for seniors – though I haven’t taken LSD or any other “recreational drugs”)

Soon after learning the skinny I realized that it was not that the information was gone, but rather that the synapses that accessed it were not working; so the info in my mind could not be accessed.

I began to consciously seek new synapses. 

Starting with a random early memory I developed a new set of mnemonic devices.  This blossomed into a new garden of memory.

 Evidence That Mitt Romney Is a Billionaire

Hustler founder Larry Flynt shares his findings from his sources in Switzerland that confirm that Mitt Romney is a billionaire who hid his wealth from the American public.

The World Wide Web is invaluable as a mind expander also.

It provokes questions, and answers, such as “Was Marilyn a transgender female?”                                            A working computer is the sine qua non in today’s civilized world.
